DESCRIPTION

Act as a server which plays the given file (containing Transport Stream or Program Stream data). The output is always Transport Stream.

Input:

An H.222.0 TS or PS file to serve to the client. This will be treated as file 0 (see below).

Specify files 0 through 9, selectable with command characters 0 through 9. The lowest numbered file will be the default for display.

General Switches:

Print out more detailed help information, including some less common options.

-err stdout

Write error messages to standard output (the default)

-err stderr

Write error messages to standard error (Unix traditional)

-v, -verbose

-q, -quiet

Suppress informational and warning messages

-port port_no

Listen for a client on port port_no [default = 88]

-noaudio

Ignore any audio data

-pad filler_pkts

Pad the start of the output with filler_pkts filler TS packets, to allow the client to synchronize with the datastream. [default = 8]

-noseqhdr

Do not output sequence headers for fast forward/reverse data. Only relevant to H.262 data.

Program Stream Switches:

-prepeat pat_freq

Output the program data (PAT/PMT) after every pat_freq PS packs. [default = 100]

-h264, -avc

Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-4/AVC.

-h262

Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-2.

Both of these affect the stream type of the output data.

-dolby dvb

Use stream type 0x06. [default]

-dolby atsc
